                Bible Software FAQ
                   Version 1.1.7
                     March 1996

This posting is designed to answer some of the Frequently
Asked Questions that people ask concerning Bible software
for computers.  This FAQ also contains information about
specific programs.  Please distribute this FAQ as widely
as possible.  It will be reposted at the beginning of each
month.  Additions, revisions and deletions to this FAQ
should be sent to me at:

         ad873@freenet.carleton.ca

I ask your patience and forgiveness if any information is
incomplete or inaccurate.  This FAQ is designed to talk
about electronic Bibles and other software that would be
helpful in studying the Bible.  This FAQ concentrates on
tools, not on specific Bible studies that people may have
done and transcribed into electronic form.  It also does not
list software such as screen savers, church membership
tracking, clip art, etc.

Please note that prices constantly change!  The prices listed
are to give you some idea about the relative prices of these
packages.  Information on prices has been obtained from 
catalogs and advertisments.  Often, publishers will have sales
and special prices.  You MUST contact the publishers for the
exact current prices.  Concerning exact feature lists and exactly
what features might be available in a particular package, you
should again consult the publishers.  Unfortunately, many ads
are relatively uninformative.  IN ALL CASES, CONTACT THE
PUBLISHERS BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR DECISIONS AND PURCHASES.
THIS ESPECIALLY APPLIES TO THE PRICES!

I welcome literature directly from publishers.  This would
make it much easier for me to keep this list up to date.

Answers:

*****************************************************************
Q1) Are the NIV, NKJV or NASB translations available on
    The Internet?

A1) These translations are copyrighted. They are only available
    in commercial Bible software programs that obtain permission
    and pay royalties to the various copyright holders.  If you
    find one of these translations available on The Internet, you
    should be aware that it is very likely these files have been
    posted to the Net in violation of copyright law.

    However, I am informed that the NIV and NASB are at
    http://www.gospelcom.net/bible with permission from the various
    copyright holders.

*****************************************************************
Q2) Why would I use an electronic Bible instead of a paper Bible?

A2) Most people who use eBibles also use paper Bibles.
    eBibles allow you to do studies that are almost impossible
    using a paper Bible and concordance.  For example, if you
    wanted to find every reference to "Son of Man" using a
    normal concordance, it would take you a very long time
    because each of the words in this phrase are relatively
    common.  Another study that would take a very long time is
    to find out how many times the name "Jesus" is used (not
    including "Jesus Christ", "Christ Jesus", "Lord Jesus" and
    "Lord Jesus Christ").

    Often, one will hear people half-jokingly saying that with
    the Bible on computer, you won't need the Holy Spirit
    anymore.  This is true, if flipping pages in a Bible is
    somehow a spiritual exercise.  Personally I find reading
    my Bible to be a greater spiritual exercise than flipping
    pages.
